Cardi B is opening up about the intense medical scare she recently experienced.
The rapper, 31, spoke to fans in a recent X Spaces chat after announcing her pregnancy with her third child on Aug. 1, reportedly sharing that she recently had a “freak accident” that left her briefly “paralyzed” and nearly caused the pregnancy to go missing.
“I had a terrible accident. I don’t know how something — well, it’s not a little, it really hurt,” said the “I Like It” singer without giving details or a diagnosis.
“It doesn’t happen very often, but it does happen [sic] so big to the point that I was literally paralyzed,” she added. “And that little thing almost cost me the arrival of my little one.”
